Notice Information

Notice Title

Servicing and Maintenance of Pneumatic Air Tube Systems

Notice Description

The Trust is conducting this request for information (RFI) exercise regarding the provision of a contract for both planned and reactive servicing and maintenance of the pneumatic tube systems to meet its needs as a provider of healthcare services. For example, connecting wards, surgical rooms and departments with the hospital's laboratory and central pharmacy, shortening delivery times and minimising the requirement for manual handling. The RFI is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) for the purpose of conducting early market engagement. The purpose of this exercise is to gauge interest from the market, understand the capability to deliver the services required and seek your views to inform any eventual procurement exercise undertaken by the Trust. The objective is to identify and mitigate any potential issues to help ensure a "right first time" approach to any eventual procurement exercise. Services will be delivered at both the Nottingham City Hospital and Queen's Medical Centre in the city of Nottingham. The Aerocom and Swisslog pneumatic systems are already in situ at the City Hospital and Queens Medical Centre respectively. For avoidance of doubt, the Trust is seeking to contract for provision of ongoing servicing and maintenance of these systems - it is not seeking to replace these systems at this time.
